Valdis Iļjučonoks from Geta Digital will give a talk “Alternative Localization for Asp.Net Core Applications”Let’s look at how Asp.Net Core applications could be localized, what are resources and resource managers. Will see how localization happens in Asp.Net Core pipeline and also will checkout some of the caveats and difficulties when working with built-in localization provider in Asp.Net Core applications. And in that context let’s see what could be done better and what tool we could use to make developer life easier (actually make developer not to think about such a boring task as application localization at all).
(Language — English)Tags: .Net Core, Asp.Net Core, C#, Localization

Andris Lubans from Intrum Global Technologies will give a talk “Controlling of messages flow in Microservices architecture”
Microservices architecture has grown in popularity in recent years. It has many benefits like scalability, fault tolerance, independent deployability etc.

Arturs Karbone from If Insurance will give a talk about “Use-Case-Driven Architecture in .NET”Brand new fancy frameworks appear quite often nowadays. Sometimes we as developers are trying to keep up to date by blindly chasing them. But is the investment worth?
What business expects from us? Fancy frameworks or solid delivery pipeline?
How can we focus on writing line of business code?
How can we postpone architectural decisions about frameworks?
How to make sure that your project structure reflects the business, not the technical brainfuck?
Artur has been digging this topic for years and has a lot of real-life examples to share.
(Language — Russian)Tags: .NET, Clean Code, Architecture

Machine Learning is booming but not so many has real life experience with it. Some time ago we had Computer Vision focused event, but this time we invited experienced guys to share their knowledge how Machine Learning can be applied to solve other real life problems.

There is certainly a growing demand for incorporating machine learning solutions into various types of business. Yet, the knowledge base is not always keeping up with hype around this subject. Some reports [source: Global CIO Point of View] tell us that 9 out of 10 CIOs plan to use machine learning solutions to achieve certain goals in their companies. Yet only around 20% actually have something in production and only 5% use machine learning extensivelly. Why? There are quite a few reasons, and that’s what this talk is all about.

In this session, we will go through various aspects of Bot development. We will start with an introduction, where I will introduce Bots (sometimes called also virtual assistants or conversational interfaces), I will tell why they are so popular now and outline main benefits. I will explain main concepts behind this technology – dialog management, natural language understanding, intents, entities etc. Then I will show what tools and technologies are there and how a typical bot is built. Finally I will tell about current limitations and challenges to deal with. And I hope there will be time for questions, discussions and exchange of ideas. I believe you will get good insight into bot development and understanding how you could introduce Bots in your projects.

Yury Nevinitsin from Odnoklassniki.ru will share an successful experience of deploying Druid in place of MSSQL“Druid is a high-performance, column-oriented, distributed data store” http://druid.ioI will tell how they solved the situation when MSSQL-based statistics system (50TB sized) became:
– slow: average response time was many times slower than required
– unstable: at peak hours it was up to 30 minutes late
– expensive: expences for Microsoft licences could be millions USD.
In Odnoklassniki.ru Druid is used to store and query operational statistics for the last 2 years. At the moment we process tens billons records each day (hundreds gigabytes by size).
Why Druid?
We chose druid (among open-source solutions) because it promised us high-performance, scalability and fault-tolerance. All three properties were required, and there were no other solution at the moment of making decision.

When you implement service architecture, there are many ways to screw up, one of which would be to miss out on debugging solutions. As you detect problems in your services, valuable insights on what’s going on “inside” should be available, in order to be able to react on incident and provide solutions faster. In this talk, I would like to dig in to the nature of logging, providing an overview on what it is and how do it in a Service architecture. Additionally tell You a story about how we created an Ad hoc solution for our infrastructure
